Make me invisible Lord
or blind his eyes
so that he does not
see me here
O THAT I MIGHT DISAPPEAR
from his presence
to stand alone in Yours
let not his anger
touch my soul
teach me how to elude
the darts of his failings
hide me from the lashings
of his infirmities....
I will hold back these tears
that wish to fall at this moment
the same tears that
have fallen so many times before
before he could ruin me
and render me useless....
I won't allow this pain
entrance to my mind
no longer will I grant
permission to him
who refuses to face himself
in the mirror....
I will delight and smile
with truthful thoughts of
Your promises to
be my ever-present help
my rock and tower of refuge
Lord Your voice
calls me to the still waters
where my soul is refreshed
Your words are gentle
and speak kindness
they tell me
to weep no more
to turn these tears to prayers
to pray for him
to understand his struggles
to hate his sin-but love him
YOU give me YOUR strength
to return to his world
empowering me to feed and give
him something to drink!
P.S. when your enemy is your husband, cook him dinner....Smile
Romans 12:19-21
Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath:
for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink:
for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
